Joe Satriani, who was a guitar teacher before he found fame with his 1987 album "Surfing With The Alien", spoke to Albany, New York's Q103 radio station about what it was like giving lessons to two of his more famous students, Steve Vai and METALLICA's Kirk Hammett.
Several other Satriani students went on to achieve fame of their own, including Alex Skolnick, Andy Timmons, Larry LaLonde, Rick Hunolt, Charlie Hunter, Jeff Tyson and Kevin Cadogan.
